From an older man’s perspective (a much older man, sadly) the effect of a break up can last for years. It’s like a beautiful mess that you clean up, no matter how hard you try. You will judge and compare every subsequent relationship to the one that got away. So, with that in mind, New Moon wasn’t a bad depiction of real life.
I agree! I related a lot to Bella in this book, especially because of the depressive episode following the breakup. Unfortunate but realistic, I think, which is why I really like this book.
05:25 In Edward's defense of leaving her behind, he left her in lot of pain, agreed but he is 100+ years old he has seen more life and realistically he knew that however great the pain maybe, she would be able to recover as a human in an year or so which in reality she would have, if human Jacob continued.
people kept hating on new moon which made me expect to hate it, but i LOVE it. i literally just finished reading it & am watching reviews on it. love your review :)
You also need to read the Edward's side of the story, Midnight Sun. Its Twilight only but Edward's narrative. You get to know how he thinks especially that he can read other people mind.
06:51 Her ability is just mind related. Its more like she can block certain Brain waves. Whereas Jasper's is more of a environment type effect which works on the physical body, i guess. It can create uneasiness or calmness through some sort of physical energy or something. You understand what I am trying to say.
I totally agree about Jacob he was so sweet before he shifted his character was assassinated. Unpopular Opinion but New Moon was my favorite out of all the books. I also enjoyed the Volturi I think their a lot more complex than people think. People always put them in the “bad guy” slot but I see them more in the grey area.
Ok the reason I’m not team Jacob is bc we all know she’s gonna end up with Edward and Bella truly loves Edward and although it may be toxic like come on it’s fiction
I think a lot of Twihards dislike New Moon for the same reason a lot of sci fans have a hard time watching Empire Strikes Back. I think it's just hard to watch because it's not a feel good story, even though arguably both are artistically the peak of the series. New Moon I think is the heart of the Twilight story in a lot of ways... it's just a bit of a downer. As far as Team Jacob or Team Edwards goes... by this point I was only Team Edward simply because Bella CLEARLY made her preference known. Unlike some love triangles it was obviously a no brainer for her. Had Bella been more conflicted I might have been more team Jacob too in THIS story... Eclipse changes that. I will say that when you read Midnight Son, Edwards behavior in Twilight and even in New Moon (even though that book doesn't cover New Moon) is given a LOT more context.
yes the end about edward !! i did not get the love energy. it got me so upset :( she did forgive to easily. the end kinda got me upset because it was so unrealistic and edward seems so different. it almost feels like he literally got over her lmao
I think the point there was that that's what Bella thinks. She keeps thinking he's taking care of her out of a bad conscience, and that he *is* over her, and because we see the story through her eyes, we might experience that too. That's what I think could be a reason anyway :)

The fact the jasper and Alice special abilities work on her is explained and gone into in the last book I’m pretty sure
I just found your twilight series and now I'm binging them! I'm really into your personality and the narrative you bring to these videos. :)
Thank you so much!! That is genuinely so nice like your comment warms my heart

Going to your Eclipse review, and personally New Moon was the high point of the movies. It went downhill fast from there for the movies.
